cheaper (433,000 as compared to $43,00 for
the foam) and would add about 15 tons to
the weight of the roof.
The option suggest by Hunter, was the
hanging of nearly 1,300 cloth -covered
fiberglass panels, weighing about five
pounds each. The advantage of the :panels
said Hunter is their "versatility". The
panels can be taken down for repair or
replacement, or to do other work in the
ceiling area, while the spray -on products,
he said, are permanent once installed.
Deacons noted that either system would
be equally effective in reducing the echo
problem.
The total cost (including engineering) of
installing the panels would be about
$62,000.
Councillor Bill Clifford spoke in favor of
proceeding with the necessary im-
ecision tabled
prorements to t na.
"The sound sys em (acoustics) is ab-
solutely terrible and it takes away from
the many wonderful things we try to do
there," Clifford said. "So this is one area
were I would not like to see us scimp "
"If we had an efficent sound system we
would likley generate more revenue at the
arena," said Councillor John Stringer, who
stated that he felt some groups may not be
using the arena for dances and other
events because of the poor sound quality.
Councillor Stan Profit wastless sure the
improvement should be proceeded with.
"Is it really that imperative," said Pro-'
fit, adding that he felt it wasn't that impor-
tant'to be able to hear every annoucement
made at a hockey game or other event. "I
don't know why ther's sucha great big flap
about it."
"I have been at the arena on many occa-
sions and have been made aware, by both
participants and spectators, that a pro-
blem exists," replied Councillor Bill
Clifford.
A motion by McCauley to accept the
tender of the concrete -based spray -on pro-
duct and also proceed with neccessary
work on the lights died without a seconder.
Clifford then made a motion, seconded
by Stringer, to choose the fiberglass
panels. However this motion was not put to
a vote, as a motion to table the decision to
the July 20 council meeting was passed by
a 3-2 margin in a recorded vote.
Councillors Profit and McCauley voted
in favor. of the motion to table, with Str-
- inger and Clifford opposed: Mayor Eileen
Palmer cast the deciding vote. Reeve
Harry Worsell, Deputy Reeve John Doher-
ty, Councillors Glen Carey and Jim Searls
were not present at the meeting.
Swimming pool charges discussed by PUC.
• from page l
noted.
The commission accepted a motion
which calls for PUC manager Evert Mid -
del and water manager Ernie Porter to set
up test meter systems with six' willing
Goderich pool owners for the months of Ju-
ly through September.
"We can study the three month period
and then decide what to do. If it's peanuts,
then we'll forget it until we meter the town.
It it's not peanuts, then we can come up
with a proposal to be used in the interim
until the town is metered," Murphy said.
While discussing the temporary meter-
ing of pool owners, the commission
members also discussed water metering
the entire town.
Both Murphy and Middel noted that
Woodstock is looking at going on the water
meter system at a cost 'bf .$100 per
household. However, both men noted, if
the town was metered, it wouldtake a few
years to find a rate of payment. ` ,
Dr. Peters said he would like to see the
PUC make a step towards metering the
town's water and Mayor Eileen Palmer
agreed.
"I would support a ,reehanneling of
reserves for metering but not until the
water treatment plant expansion is com-
pleted," she said.
Middel noted installing meters in new
homes could begin next week yet not be us-
ed until the whole town was metered.
Further discussion of installing water
meters in Goderich households was tabled
to a later date.
